What are you listening to?

I have been listening to the group: Dead Can Dance for many years.
A song from their 2012 album Anastasia, called Amnesia. To me, it sums up our known history of today.

Amnesia Lyrics

Saw the demonstration
On remembrance day
Lest we forget the lesson
Enshrined in funeral clay
History is never written
By those who've lost
The defeated must bear witness to
Our collective memory loss
With every generation comes
Another memory lapse
See the demonstrations of
Failing to learn from our past
We live in the dreamtime
Nothing seems to last
Can you really plan a future
When you no longer have a past
Memories fall from the trees
Amnesia
Memories like autumn leaves
If we are subject to
Empirical minds
I wonder what lies beyond
Our memory's confines
If memory is the true
Sum of who we are
May your children know the truth
And shine like the brightest star
Memory, help me see
Amnesia
Memory, set me free
All my love and all my kisses
Sweet Mnemosyne
Sweet Mnemosyne
All my love and all my kisses
Sweet Mnemosyne
Sweet Mnemosyne

The most famous Brahms dance is the Hungarian Dance No. 5 in F sharp minor (in G minor for orchestra). However, it is not an original composition, but mainly based on Hungarian folk motifs, which is a little-known fact. Only dances number 11, 14 and 16 are completely original compositions.

 
This song is pure cheese and a guilty pleasure. Burning Heart by Survivor. Sometimes I miss the 80's, not too often, but sometimes. I'm pretty sure this song was featured in a Rocky film as well. Certainly simpler times. The lyrics are awesome in that very cheesy, against the odds warrior schtick that was a mainstay of early 80's pop culture.

 
Nothing at all happened on April 18th, 1930. There was no news at all. The BBC announcer for the 8.45 pm radio news bulletin announced to the nation, "Today is Good Friday. There is no news." The rest of the 15-minute bulletin was filled by piano music, until the BBC resumed with a broadcast of Wagner's opera, Parsifal.

Ah sorry.. It was Five Miles Out by Mike Oldfield.. An old favourite of mine, went hand-in-hand with my childhood Bermuda Triangle obsession :) There are various copies on youtube but that was the only one I found with the 80s-tastic music video! Here's another copy, but I still don't know if it'll work in the US either:
